Families hosting Ukrainians in UK call for end to refugee 'favouritism'
It’s as the former Conservative refugees minister who designed the scheme, Lord Richard Harrington, has told LBC it should be replicated for other asylum seekers.
Lord Harrington told LBC the policy should also apply to people who arrive illegally, as long as their status can be determined quickly. Kitty Hamilton, who runs the Crouch End Hosts group in North London and is herself hosting a family of three, told LBC: “From the very beginning it has never sat easily with us that the Homes for Ukraine scheme is so much more favourable to any other. The current policy being championed by the government is incredibly distressing.”
"I think this nation is far more decent and open than the government gives us credit for, and that is the shame of what is going on at the moment.”Another ‘super-host’, Simone Schehtman, told LBC the government’s communication around its new migration bill is “extremely toxic” and is making it “difficult” to support Ukrainians.
"Using that as a template as to how we can help other people find safe refuge from other traumas across the globe should be, could be, and in my view must be the direction we take – safe passage that is clear, quick and fair.”
